Isolated incident. Nothing to see here. The Officer was just being thorough in her investigation of that large bulge in the boys pants. It was only a matter of time before this little thug started to go out molesting innocent white girls.

TFA didn't give the reason why the victim was stopped by the police in the first place (unless I'm retarded this morning and can't read, which is always possible). Is it simply because he was attractive and successful? Whatever the reason, I look forward to reading about how this turns out.

He was charged with "misdemeanors". That's some fine reporting there, Lou.

Absent any other information, I'll assume that he pushed Officer Ballbreaker away, probably while screaming in excruciating pain, and was charged with failing to follow directions or resisting arrest or somesuch nonsense.

Yeah misdemeanors are meaningless pretty much, you can get them for anything like you said. It's just to try and make him look bad at this point.

The article is vague. Was he being arrested for some other reason? Or was he being "arrested for resisting arrest?"In either case, I want to make it totally clear that I oppose crushing people's testicles under any circumstances. Ow.

From the article,1. A member of his group may have said something smart to a police officer.2. They perceived to be "staring them down,"3. When the officer approached, the boys, including Manning, reportedly ran.4. He stopped running, simply because, "I didn't do anything wrong.5. The sophomore contends multiple police officers "roughed" him up, struck him with a pair of handcuffs and 'cuffed him as a female cop allegedly squeezed his genitals so hard during a pat-down that one of his testicles ruptured.

Yeah, in Obama's America, the police will use force on you if you are rude to them.

Springsteen said it very well in his song American Skin,

Lena gets her son ready for schoolShe says, "On these streets, CharlesYou've got to understand the rulesIf an officer stops you, promise me you'll always be politeAnd that you'll never ever run awayPromise Mama you'll keep your hands in sight

Don't be stupid. Avoid the police at all cost. Unless you live in a nice area, the police are not there to help you. That era of America is gone. There are new rules now.

You can be shot and killed on a technicality by the police without them having to fear anything.

mr0x:Yeah, in Obama's America, the police will use force on you if you are rude to them.

Oh please. Like this wasn't happening before. Like most cops don't hate Obama. Like Obama has issued orders to local cops to beat down the everyman. If Obama has a failing in this realm, it's that he hasn't done enough to reverse what has been status quo for a long time.

Is it just me, or did the article not mention why he was stopped nor what charges he is supposed to be facing? (Oh! Sorry. I see they didn't.)

Another point. Guys playing sports, especially street versions, get slammed in the nuts all the time without having a protective cup and don't rupture their balls. To rupture a testicle by hand means that was one hell of a squeeze. Far beyond anything needed for a search.

PSA: A strong enough impact to the testicles can actually kill a guy. It has been known to happen.

Take that derp elsewhere.

I'm not saying directly because of Obama.

It is common to refer to periods of history by the presiding president.

I remember the last few decades as Bush's America, Clinton's America and W. Bush's America which all feels like three different phases in time of America.

I think Obama's years will be remembered by the creeping authoritarianism in America.

This lawsuit is justified.

Also didn't mention if the cop owns a banjo. But as it would turn out, neither of those details matter, since police shouldn't be crushing testicles under pretty much any circumstance.

What the initial report *does* say is that Manning, who had been with a group of his friends, was stopped by a cop because he had his face covered by a mask and was running. According to the cop, Manning began to fight with him, and the cop called for backup. It was one of the backup officers who frisked Manning. Manning was charged with assaulting an officer among other things.

This incident does *not* appear to be a stop and frisk as TFA reports. According to the initial report, it was a stop that developed into an arrest. The frisk appears to have occurred after the arrest.

Meh. Still subjective. Not to mention it seems that saying something smart to a cop is indicitave of criminal activity. I did like the part where moms didn't just take little Ikea's word for it amd went looking for witnesses.

The account of the sequence of the events (stop, then arrest, then frisk) has not been challenged up to now either by Manning, or his mother, or his lawyer.

I agree that the stop was off base. Query, though, whether Manning escalated the bad situation that he inherited.

kortex:How do we know this little race card player didn't do it to himself for attention and money?

How about we conduct a test. Go ahead and squeeze one of your own nuts, or better yet, get someone else to do it, and see how you react to that crunching noise when you reach maximum pressure.

This kid was walking with his friends, doing nothing that warranted Police attention except wearing a muffler over his face on one of the coldest days of the year, and having the unfortunate circumstance of having a skin hue that didn't match the Officer's preconceived notion of being a non-criminal.

Of course, you are probably going to come back with something like: "Well, he had non-European ancestry, therefore he was just a drug dealer or a murderer that hadn't been caught yet."

I hate to break it to you but this stuff has been happening since well before "Obama's America". It's not new it's just been steadily worsening and becoming better documented with the availability of cell phones with cameras
